I fell in love with the wildflowers at Cedar Breaks and in Ashdown Gorge. I don't know their names, but I think they are awesome!

Thanks! I knew they were columbine (Thanks to those on the trip) which is now my favorite! The others I had no idea really so i appreciate it

yeah, the Columbines were absolutely awesome in Ashdown Gorge!!!

and also the Sego Lilies - I've never seen so many of them before. Sometimes whole meadows where full of them

Amazing color variations!

and more color variations of the Columbines

I've seen a lot of the red Columbines in the Zion area and the white ones in the Escalante area, but never completely blue Columbines or the pinkish ones.
